Skidmark Posted July 6, 2011 Share HiyaFirst time poster. Just started riding last week.. Got the corporate ironman next year in my sights and this is what's gonna get me there Found a really nifty iPhone App which I thought I'd share with ya'll. It actually works on iPhone, Android and with Garmin units. It's called Strava. You start the app, put it away & forget about it until you stop. Then, it sync's with their servers and generates a report like this. Pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonaMTB Posted July 6, 2011 Share I also use that app. It is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallie. Posted July 6, 2011 Share You should have a look at Endomondo (www.endomondo.com), it's also quite a cool app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The web UI and app for Strava was the clincher for me. Spose it's whatever works best for you. Don't wanna spend more time booting up apps, then actually doing a ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawieO Posted July 6, 2011 Share add a Wahoo case for your iPhone and you'll get all the other metrics also, HR, Cadence, Power if you have a power meter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmark Posted July 6, 2011 Share add a Wahoo case for your iPhone and you'll get all the other metrics also, HR, Cadence, Power if you have a power meter... I use one of these. Works epically. Nice firm case & still lets the touchscreen & buttons work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonaMTB Posted July 7, 2011 Share There was one for sale here not to long ago. If you search in the classifieds maybe it's still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmark Posted July 8, 2011 Share First time poster mysef, So you guys are saying that these phone apps, do work. I recently obtained an HTC purposefully for the Android apps Indeed.. I was somewhat skeptical of the accuracy of the Strava app, but was very pleasantly surprised. You can get it for your Android too. The difference between the odometer on my bike's computer and the Strava app was negligible. The summary is really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I be able to download an existing route map for eample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure... guess it depends how many other riders are using the app in your area... Their app at the moment is purely for tracking.. Doesn't provide much in the way of routes & live maps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
